Museum Provenance

Jackie Kennedy’s fashion choices were so stylish—glass pearls, statement jewelry, a simple tank watch—they are as on-trend today as in the heyday of Camelot. Like her signature faux pearls, many of Jackie’s personal items can be found in First Ladies, one of the most popular exhibits at our National Museum of American History.

Every Smithsonian purchase will arrive with a museum provenance card explaining how it is adapted from or
inspired by an object or objects in our collection.

Anniversary Gift - item was received with two stones having fallen out of their mountings! Item has been returned.Be aware - Smithsonian Store does not pay for return shipping, even if item is damaged/broken! Had to argue vociferously to have them agree (on a one-time basis) to pay for shipping!

This came beautifully boxed and looked very nice. However, was disappointed in its weight. When I took it out of the box, one of the crystals had fallen out of its set and into the bottom of the display box.

I was so excited about wearing this piece, but was very dismayed when the lovely crystals FELL OUT of the necklace before I ever left the house with it. Clearly the quality in workmanship is a far cry from what Jackie O would expect. Shame on you, Smithsonian!

The necklace was beautiful; however, the crystals fell out almost immediately. At the time I purchased the necklace, I did see one negative review that warned about this. However, I decided to go ahead and purchase it anyway. But as soon as I started taking the necklace out of its wrapping, the crystals fell out! Curiously, the original review that I saw has been deleted.

Do Not Buy this necklace. The crystals fall out of their settings! I am in the process of sending it back for a refund. It really is a beautiful necklace, but I am astounded that the Smithsonian would send out such a faulted product and list it as a Jackie Kennedy copy. I hate that. Jackie Kennedy had beautiful taste in all things. This is embarrassing.

It is a really sparkly necklace with enough dazzle to light up a room. It will definitely chase away all Winter doldrums, and in spite of all its glamour, it is an elegant , simple design (it's not "over the top.")Well, it figures really; Jackie Kennedy had great taste, and this is a testament to that.
